Yup, another local landmark has a date with the wrecking ball…
Long time Riverside landmark, the Royale Tavern is falling for some big box goodness, as Shopper’s Drug Mart has decided they need to thrust their stucco clad nonsense on this neighbourhood.
The Royale has been a fixture at the corner of Wyandotte and Dawson since at least the 1930’s.
The Royale is shown in the map above from 1937 as the Royale Hotel.
Not to worry. I’m certain that that Shopper’s will be great!

As of yesterday afternoon, the only thing left standing was the front facade of the tavern.
It's all down now.
i've drank at the royale Tavern over the years at one time they had a really nice back duning room near the side door you walked up a couple stairs and there were tables and chairs with white linen tablecloths on each table kind of felt homey
FYI the convvenice store east of the royale was a FINA gas station back in the 50's
